Dear friends, it's Valentine's day (which I hate) but nevertheless I hope you had a great day. I taught an AWESOME class on Dante and Petrarch and even got excited about Petrarch a little bit (who I also hate). However, in honor of this day (which people always forget actually has dark and twisty roots - much like Signor Petrarca himself) I would like to share the top ten moments of the day.
1. One of my 2050 students told me I looked super cute today (and who said black on black on black with black jewelry and black hair accessories was inappropriate on this stupidest day of the year?!)
2 and 3. I got complimented twice on my boots!
Comment one: Whoa! Those boots are mean! Seriously, I love them!
Comment two: OMG! Let me see your boots! Those are fierce!
4. A thank you from the Miss Texas Organization for judging at the Sweeper pageants this weekend. I love pageantry!
5. Junior league. Another perk of judging pageants is you meet some real movers and shakers in the pageant world and the non-profit scene. This weekend I got two separate invitations to join the Dallas Junior League. It's a little bit ladies that lunch and a lot community service garnished with a ton of free invitations to awesome parties and grand openings. I'm in. Can't wait till the next membership rally!
6. My best friend Jeff (my valentine for the last 15 years) sent me a Valentine card.
7. Veronica Mars on Netflix. Why didn't I watch this show when it was on? I LOVE IT! I totally want to be a high school spy/private eye/man eater. Where do I sign up for lessons?
8. I am number four preview - this is so OBVIOUSLY Twilight meets Romeo and Juliet with a little Spiderman thrown in just for kicks. What is this even about? Who knows, but it's fun picking out all the things they stole from other movies.
9. Sophie's daughter Anabelle - princess-in-training. I cleaned out my closet and some of my pageant clothes and passed them on to Sophie's 4 year old. Apparently she wore a tiara to school today. I can rest easy tonight knowing that my rhinestones are doing the world good.
10. My favorite way to end a Monday: the Bachelor. I suppose I really shouldn't comment since I've never been there.....but come on ladies! This is ridiculous! How can you "fall in love" with someone while you share him with 25 other people? Isn't that called polygamy? And you're all delirious from not eating so you look good for the cameras......you have NO idea what's actually going on. He has a dumb accent and in case you haven't realized, it never works out. It's more about who will become the next bachelorette.....who will "find her soulmate" and then break up with him shortly after filming ends. It's a vicious cycle but I can't look away.
YES!!! i made an apperence in your blog!!!
